Big disappointment

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental is managed by a management company and you have to fill out additional paperwork. Not a big deal. I completed the paperwork prior to my trip. I was arriving "after-hours" and had to go to their office to pick up my keys. Not a big deal. When I got there, I had to request a code for the lock box in a group text. Someone in the chat told me I had to fill out the paperwork in order to get the keys. That kind frustrated me because I had already done that. Someone then "confirmed" I had already taken care of it and gave me the code. I feel like that should've been "confirmed" before asking me to fill out the paperwork again.I had a special trip planned for my 12 year old son and I, and while I don't generally don't care about internet while in the mountains, I did care for this trip. There was a special curriculum I was going through and needed Internet. It was clear in the description this rental had internet so I was ok with renting it. When I got to the cabin I logged into their wifi but had absolutely zero service. No internet, no cell reception, not ability to text, email, anything. The next morning I drove back to town and contacted a couple ladies in the office. I explained to them what was happening and they reminded me I was in the mountains and sometimes cell service is spotty. Im 41, I backpack, spend time in the backcountry, etc., Im quite familiar with how spotty reception is in the mountains. But to not have any wifi when it clearly stated there would be is what was frustrating for me. They said they would have someone look into it. I don't know if they did but I still had zero service at the cabin and was forced to spend my time away from the cabin I paid for because I NEEDED service and couldn't get it.Sidenote- Im not sure how often they dust the walls but the wood panels had enough dust to make a large sweater.

Such a great stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the 4th time we've stayed at Indian Rock and each time it's been so nice. There's a creek right along the back side of the property and sitting outside listening to the water run and reading or having coffee in the morning is so peaceful. It's the perfect place to stay if you're looking for a small quiet spot in the woods. We spend the days exploring and hiking and the evenings taking it easy!

A roof over your head and that’s it.

When we first arrived we passed by the rental and went straight to the main house because we thought the structure was a shed. Once we figured out we were staying in the “shed” we opened the door and was greeted by suffocating heat. No windows could be opened other than the small window in the door and they only provided a box fan. Our first words to each other were “This is definitely a set up to a horror movie.” The unit is a studio with the barest of essentials available. Not at all what I thought when I read the listing or saw pictures. This rental IS NOT a short walk from town. The shower had clumps of hair. Ants were crawling on almost every surface: nightstands, bathroom counter, bed, walls. Not worth the rental price, not a comfortable stay. (lol… if that wasn’t obvious) At least my husband’s birthday weekend will be a running joke for years to come about how we stayed in the sketchy “nightmare shed” and made our own ac with bags of ice and a fan.

Never would stay here again

It felt dirty and we woke up itching. I used my own blanket and slept with cloths on to avoid the itching my partner experienced. Afraid I brought bed bugs home with me. I got really sick from using the water to cook.

Quiet Cozy Cabin

Perfect for our needs. Tucked away in the pines, the quiet setting was very relaxing. After long days of outdoor activities, the memory foam mattress provided comfortable, restful sleep. Two electric heaters warmed up the space nicely. Wifi signal was decent for four devices. Stand up shower was sufficient. Kitchenette has no sink, so cookware was cleaned in the bathroom which was not a problem for us. It was nice to see that the property manager took past reviews into consideration to improve the cabin. Glad we drove a 4x4 vehicle as recommended in the listing. Would absolutely stay again.

A Ture Nightmare!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Let's see where do we begin. We are vacation rental hosts and property managers ourselves and this was a true nightmare experience. Although their was great communication when we arrived there was no key in the lockbox at the management company as promised, we had to call and wait for the representative to come to the office and give us a key. When we finally found our way in the pitch dark neighborhood down a road the badly needed repairs, their were no lights to identify the property. When we finally found the property, we had no idea which unit we were suppose to enter as none were marked and when we tried the key on the door with the matching address the key did not work. We had to again call out a representative. Once the representative arrived and opened the door their was no heat and no lights and the representative had to actually run out to the breakers to flip the switches. The representative explained that we could only use one light and the two heaters or risk tripping the breaker, and although we followed the instructions the breaker still tripped and we had to once again call the representative and go out to the breakers ourselves in 40 degree weather, this is unacceptable to say the least. So being the busiest weekend of the year in Idyllwild, the rep could not relocate us without great expense we were forced to deal with these substandard conditions. The manager advised us to use the battery powered lantern to avoid overloading the breakers so we went a step further and turned off one of the portable heaters and only used one light and we were terrified to even try to charge our cell phones for fear of having to run back out in the pitch black night to flip breakers. Although the motion light kept going off an on all night we were just too tired and scared to even get up to see who or what was tripping the motion light, a true nightmare. However in the morning on a positive side, the shower worked great.

It was a very peaceful and nice little cabin in the middle of nowhere. The check in process was a nightmare. They had an office that no one told us to check into. We waited at the cabin for 2 hours before heading into town to get reception. The lady answered and said she would wait for us. We thought she meant the cabin, but she was referring to an office we knew nothing about. We didn't check in until 10pm.

DO NOT STAY HERE!

Totally unsuitable for children. I felt very very UNSAFE . My children are 8 and 10 and it was totally unsafe and sketchy. It looks nothing like it is pictured. Very dingy and dirty. Icky Icky vibes inside. The main house it is attached to is a mess. The internet is too weak to even watch a movie on the TV. The front porch lights didnt work. The creek near by is down a danger steep hill. A dilapidated tree house high in trees that could fall on children. No one near by. Felt totally unsafe. This unit should not be rented out. It is disgusting and UNSAFE.

Misrepresentation (NOT PALM SPRINGS)

This place is NOT anywhere near palms springs as what is advertised by vrbo... the listing claims it’s less than 10 miles from Palm Springs city center ... it’s NOT ... very disappointing... also they needed my drivers license and all kinds of funky paperwork... it was a nightmare ... would not recommend ... might be a nice place but I was looking for a place in Palm Springs not Idyllwild...this kinda ruined our trip ... we ended up staying with friends at another place but not ideal having to stay with them due to covid. I really hope my family doesn’t get covid... if we did it’s surely because of this bull shit

Bad experience

Traveled for a little getaway with my family to relax and give my kids some snow fun. The property first was hard to get to, there weren't no signs with the property name to help guide us through. We went back to the office location and a manager was able to escort us to the property. By the time we got there it was dark so we started to turn on the lights, but 2 out of 3 lamps were in working conditions. The lighting was pretty bad, to the point that I was unpacking out a change of clothes with the help of the flashlight from my phone. 1 lamp was not working and all were very dusty, well the whole property was. A basket in the kitchenette where plates were placed was very dusty. I understand that the property is in the mountains and there is dust, but not tho the point where I'm trying to turn on lights and getting dust cobwebs on my hands. Thankfully I traveled with my own disposable plates and utensils that I didn't need to use the ones at the property. The tosteroven was very dirty and full of crums, looked disgusting and didn't use it either. There was no basket in the restroom, but the funny part was that there was a sign at the door that said not to flush anything down the toilet! So what were supposed to do? The aerosol spray in the restroom was very dirty and filthy looking too. We did try to overlook at all the problems, but nevertheless it was a bad experience overall. Beware of this property it is not as pictured.
